I think it is all a bit ridiculous that everyone wins just for showing up. That isn't how it is in the real world, and it sets young people up for inability to cope later when they don't "win."
For example, my friend's elementary school aged-kids were showing off their gymnastics "medals" recently. But in reality, they were "medals" for participating in an end of season showcase. I'm glad the kids are jazzed about gymnastics, but they didn't earn a medal; their parents paid for them to participate in a recital.
